In 2003, Stephanie Bonham Carter (Ecuadorian-British) and Michael Mesdag (Dutch-Spanish) embarked on a journey across the Four Worlds of Ecuador. Upon arriving in the Galapagos Islands, they encountered an opportunity that would not only change their lives but also change the way travelers experience the Galapagos Islands.
Built on a dream
While exploring the highlands of Santa Cruz Island, they stumbled upon a farm bordering the Galapagos National Park that was up for sale. After climbing a tree to get a better look at the lay of the land, they were captivated by the incredible views. The magic of the moment was undeniable. It was intoxicating and overwhelming in its uniqueness: a Galapagos experience that defied description. From that moment on, their hearts were captured.
